Go Ds

I wish I knew. The guy used figures he didn't explain.

Daniel Hoyne was on First Crack Preview saying Melbourne's ball movement vs Carlton was the fastest Champion Data has seen in their 8 years, i.e they play on almost at all costs. I'm sure there'll be a follow-up story or clip online eventually but this is interesting to hear.

We could've so easily given up when Carlton goaled in the third and last quarter. Usually two quick goals and a 4goal lead like Carlton's early in the last will quash a tiring team's comeback. But not only did we hit the lead we kept going! Certainly Melbourne did so much right after Q1.

McLure on 360? He hasn't been on it for probably at least 4 years.

Are they loading already? That's confidence! 😂

Years ago Jordan Lewis and Jack Riewoldt started appearing on AFL 360 in a weekly segment. Maybe the show had a lot of players turn it down. It sounds like Tony Grieg was so cooperative with helping Packer's idea of one-day cricket take off that he was rewarded an almost unconditional position as a commentator later on. Maybe FoxFooty is as grateful towards Riewoldt.

The Midweek Tackle?

Google is now officially hopeless. Who's on AFLToday? Is that on Kayo?

I'll watch a bit of 360. But I'm kinda over all of them bar First Crack. They used to say today's newspaper is tomorrow's fish and chips wrapper. That's the way even most AFL games feel - apart from Carlton's collapse (Melbourne comeback) in a month's time all people will remember from the weekend just past is which teams were looking great, good, mediocre or atrocious. So lesser things like a player not shaking an opponent's hand will be even more forgotten. I agree re Riewoldt. He might be a really nice bloke but looks a school's PE teacher asked to teach year 10 French while Mrs Beauchamp is on maternity leave. And of course no one was recruited because of their understanding of probability, statistics and football prediction. I'm sure ex-players appreciate the skills of players better than most civilians and recount what shellackings were like either side of the ledger. But just cos they could kick 60m goals doesn't mean they know whether West Coast is now better than Carlton or if Freo is better than Hawthorn. (Similarly journos are taught how to find sources and write concisely, not indicators of an improving team.)

Surely people realise the Giants/Saints game was put back maybe 45 mins due to lightning. Fifteen mins before our game started a message came on the screen that our game had been moved to ch503. Hopefully they kept repeating that message. You cant blane the AFL for that. Also Fox has used 503 like this plenty of times.

Yeah, I'd feel so embarrassed being seen at a Coldplay concert. 🙄

Wow! Who knew that a tiny little addition to the football experience as thirty seconds of music here and there would have so much mileage here!

If it were the last bit of the third quarter in the 2021 grand final I'd love it!

Hmm , did Slash ever release any solo albums?

While true I'm guessing that if in the years since all the extra noise the attendances have dropped or there are a lot of official complaints (or even just many online) somewhere along the line those leagues would take notice and remove the music. I hate to say it but I'm guessing their audiences have not dropped.
